2007 MINI 1.6L Petrol · A14 XAE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2022 at 180,067 miles with no defects recorded, and it remains taxed and roadworthy as of the current date. The maintenance trend over the last decade has been largely stable, with annual tests producing clean passes or minor advisories rather than recurring mechanical failures. The absence of any failures since the 2010 retest suggests that previous owners addressed issues promptly and maintained a consistent service schedule. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the car's age. Over the sixteen-year span between the first recorded test in April 2010 and the final pass in February 2022, the odometer rose from 48,939 to 180,067 miles, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year. This rate reflects moderate, steady usage rather than fleet or taxi-style high-mileage operation. No significant gaps appear in the MOT history, and the annual intervals between tests remained regular, indicating the vehicle was kept in continuous use and properly stored. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension bushes, which were first flagged as deteriorated in the April 2012 test and remain a common wear point on this generation of MINI. The February 2021 advisory noting a damaged windscreen and the February 2019 oil leak both warrant verification, as these could indicate deferred maintenance or age-related seal degradation. Brake condition, exhaust integrity, and structural corrosion around the sills and subframe mounting points should also be examined in person, given the vehicle's age and mileage.
